I would guess that Coke produced in most other countries uses cane or beet sugar rather than HFCS for the simple reason that the massive subsidies for HFCS that were instituted in the eighties at the behest of Archer Daniels Midland do not exist elsewhere.

And as far as the danger of HFCS, all one has to do is look at a graph of the spike in childhood obesity and type-2 juvenile diabetes since the wholescale switch to HFCS in mass production foods.

By the way, I'm not a vegetarian or vegan or any other type of food nazi. I love steak, cheesburgers, foie gras and all other forms of fattening food. I just want them to be naturally produced. HFCS is poison.
